". The report under discussion recommends that the EU Member States ratify the European Constitution. I had no hesitation in voting against this report, for a number of reasons. It is out of place for the European Parliament to recommend that the Member States ratify or reject the Treaty, as final decisions on this matter and completion of the ratification process fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the sovereign national authorities designated for this purpose. How one views this so-called European Constitution is an entirely separate issue. In my opinion, ratification of this Constitution would not further either Poland’s or Europe’s interests. I have repeatedly noted how inappropriate it is for there to be no reference to God or the Christian tradition in the preamble to the Treaty. The lack of any such reference means that the truth about our continent’s history is blatantly ignored. A further point of contention is the revision of the Treaty of Nice, which has not even been given the chance to prove itself in practice. The provisions of this Treaty on weighted voting within the European Council, which would have been to Poland’s benefit, have been watered down by the Constitutional Treaty, without their influence on the functioning of the Communities having been assessed in any way. Furthermore, I have concerns regarding a number of other provisions in the so-called European Constitution, for example increasing the unjust privileges granted to the eastern of the Federal Republic of Germany under previous treaties."@en1
